Before and not quite after

I had a laugh over at Andrea's blog pink-poodle the other day. Some of us were expressing our chagrin at having to learn how to operate new technology, namely digital cameras. My hubby has bought me a beauty for Christmas this year whilst on his travels overseas and has offered it to me prematurely...I think he has had enough of my strong expressions of disdain for my current camera, which, by the way, I grabbed off the impulse aisle at the supermarket checkout for $99...I can hear you all now "that explains those photos". I have refused to accept my early Chrissy pressy but not for the noble reasons you might think (ie saving it for the proper occasion), but rather because I am delaying the inevitable feeling of complete incompetence that I KNOW I will experience upon opening my new toy! Anyway, I have mentioned all of this in order to apologise, yet again, for the sad quality of these photos.

Our bathrooms are the bane of my life. With all due respect....who chooses orange/pink two-tone floor tiles and a lighter toned orange/pink for wall tiles????? I guess they thought they would compliment nicely with the brown/pink floral frieze/border tile in the shower box. To date, my reno budget is running rather low, so I will have to save up in order to tackle the tiling problem, however, I did manage to replace the old vanity tops, basins, fixtures and splashbacks (my first ever attempt at tiling) and paint the cupboards. One day I hope to be able to share with you the completed bathroom and ensuite in all their glory but until then...here's a snippet of what's been done so far.

Ensuite after (above), before (below).

Bathroom after. I have yet to paint the cream woodwork of the sliding door.
Those are the new handles but I have gone off them already so will probs replace them soon.
